Lawrence : We still goin' fishin' this weekend? Lawrence : Well, you can get out of that easily. Peter Gibbons : Yeah? Lawrence : Well, when a boss wants you to work on Saturday he generally asks you at the end of the day, right?
Peter Gibbons : Yeah. Lawrence : So, all you gotta do is avoid him Peter Gibbons : That's a really good idea. Lawrence : Fuckin' A, man! Lawrence : [shouting through the wall from his apartment] Hey Peter, man, check out channel 9, check out this chick. Lawrence : Doesn't that chick look like Anne? Peter Gibbons : Yeah, a little bit Lawrence : Hey, she hasn't been over here in a while. You two still goin' out? I guess I don't know.
Sometimes I get the feeling like she's cheating on me. Lawrence : Yeah, I get that feeling too, man. Peter Gibbons : What do you mean by that? Lawrence : I don't know, man. I just get that feeling lookin' at her like she's the type of chick that just Peter really stepped in it when he got some bad intel from a co-worker about Joanna, his new girlfriend.
According to rumor, she had slept with none other than Bill Lumberg, which was about the most offensive concept Peter could possibly fathom. Unfortunately, it was the wrong Lumberg, but that didn't stop Peter from losing his temper. It nearly cost him his romance with Joanna, but thankfully the two managed to reconcile when Peter's high-flying schemes came crashing into the hard wall of reality. Joanna found Peter's view on work to be quite unorthodox, and perhaps a little reckless.
She was used to going with the flow, doing what was expected of her, and bowing to pressure, even if it wasn't actually warranted. Working at Chachki's was every bit as horrendous as Peter working at Initech, and she had enough.
When the head manager criticized her for the "lack of flair" on her uniform, she snapped. She was fresh off a fight with Peter, which meant she rattled to begin with. She responded with this quote, before giving her manager the middle finger to his face, right in front of the patrons.
He even stares up at the ceiling, trying to remember all the words. The scene helps establish that offices weren't the only places where monotony ran the show. Large corporate entities frequently went down this path, much to the chagrin of their employees walking the beat. It's safe to say that the Office Space guys weren't going to win any awards for being hip, cool, or trendy.
In fact, left to their own devices, it's doubtful any of them would have scored a second look. That level of frustration and lack of acknowledgment was part of what drove their scheme to defraud Initech.
When the time came to do the deed, the three of them could barely figure out what money laundering actually was. They were such straight shooters who never deviated from the straight and narrow, and never bothered to take a risk, that it had come down to looking up the definition in a dictionary. It's a strong message for anyone stuck in a job they hate, and it tries to convince them to get out while the opportunities are still there.
In the end, he wasn't a rich man doing nothing, but he was happy, fulfilled, and looking forward to a brighter future with a new career path. It seemed like Milton couldn't get any respect, even after he burnt down the Initech building, retrieved his Swingline stapler, and made for a tropical sandy beach in a foreign country. By all accounts, he should have felt relaxed, but his neurotic mannerisms ended up following him. He was less-than-enthused about the waiter getting his drink orders wrong, which the waiter ignored outright.
The cycle had begun to repeat, and within a day of being there, Milton was already contemplating his vengeance on the resort. Ben Sherlock is a writer, comedian, and independent filmmaker.

By Ben Sherlock Updated Apr 22, Can we order lunch first? Peter Gibbons : What would you do if you had a million dollars? Lawrence : I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man. Peter Gibbons : That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time? Lawrence : Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.
Peter Gibbons : Well, not all chicks. Lawrence : Well, the type of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do. Peter Gibbons : Good point. Lawrence : Well, what about you now? What would you do? Peter Gibbons : Besides two chicks at the same time? Lawrence : Well, yeah.
Peter Gibbons : Nothing. Lawrence : Nothing, huh? Peter Gibbons : I would relax I would sit on my ass all day I would do nothing. Lawrence : Well, you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man.
Take a look at my cousin: he's broke, don't do shit. Michael Bolton : Peter, you're in deep shit. You were supposed to come in on Saturday. What were you doing? Peter Gibbons : Michael, I did nothing. I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything that I thought it could be. Bob Slydell : You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work Bob Slydell : Great.
Peter Gibbons : Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late, ah, I use the side door - that way Lumbergh can't see me, heh heh - and, uh, after that I just sorta space out for about an hour.
Bob Porter : Da-uh? Space out? Peter Gibbons : Yeah, I just stare at my desk; but it looks like I'm working. I do that for probably another hour after lunch, too. I'd say in a given week I probably only do about fifteen minutes of real, actual, work. Dom Portwood : Hi, Peter.
What's happening? We need to talk about your TPS reports. The coversheet. I know, I know. Uh, Bill talked to me about it. Dom Portwood : Yeah. Did you get that memo? I got the memo. And I understand the policy. And the problem is just that I forgot the one time. And I've already taken care of it so it's not even really a problem anymore. Dom Portwood : Ah! It's just we're putting new coversheets on all the TPS reports before they go out now.
So if you could go ahead and try to remember to do that from now on, that'd be great. All right! Peter Gibbons : Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and you're not feeling real well, does anyone ever say to you, "Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays?
Lawrence : No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man. Peter Gibbons : This isn't so bad, huh? Makin' bucks, gettin' exercise, workin' outside. Lawrence : Fuckin' A. Peter Gibbons : [nods] Fuckin' A. Peter Gibbons : I can't believe what a bunch of nerds we are. We're looking up "money laundering" in a dictionary. Peter Gibbons : You're gonna lay off Samir and Michael? Bob Slydell : Oh yeah, we're gonna bring in some entry-level graduates, farm some work out to Singapore, that's the usual deal.
Bob Porter : Standard operating procedure. Peter Gibbons : Do they know this yet? Bob Slydell : No. No, of course not. We find it's always better to fire people on a Friday. Studies have statistically shown that there's less chance of an incident if you do it at the end of the week.
Michael Bolton : Samir and I are the best programmers they got at that place. You haven't been showing up and you get to keep your job. Peter Gibbons : Actually, I'm being promoted.
Peter Gibbons : [about the plan to steal from Initech] Before we go any further, all right, we have to swear to God, Allah, that nobody knows about this but us, all right? No family members, no girlfriends, nobody. Samir : Of course. Michael Bolton : Agreed,.
Lawrence : [from the next apartment through the wall] Don't worry, man. I won't tell anyone either. Michael Bolton : Who the fuck is that? Peter Gibbons : Uh, don't worry about him.
He's cool. Peter Gibbons : [talking about the hypnotherapist he's about to see] Hey, he helped Anne lose weight. Samir : Peter, she's anorexic! Peter Gibbons : Yeah, the guy's really good.
